The Everyday Journal believes that there is a desire for graduate-level
scholarship at the intersection of the study of liturgy, Christianity,
theology, and culture. This journal provides an outlet for the
formulation of scholarly ideas and research that is evolving, much like
conference papers are read and given in order to further the academic
endeavors of the presenter. We are looking for articles, meditations, and
book reviews (see specific descriptions below).
